Lump

Background

I  am 27 an had a baby 7 months ago. Had my annual pap in Jan and it was negative


Hello

This morning inwas shavin my pubic area and I notice it lump when I pressed on it.

The lump is under the skin and you can't not really see it unless I bend backwards.

It is on my pubic hair area close to my thigh crease.
It's is squishy. No pain or discoloration

What could this be?
Is this cancer?

Hello,
This lump can be a cyst or a lipoma which is a benign fatty tumor. To confirm the diagnosis I suggest you to get it examined from your dermatologist. Till then apply warm compresses and some topical antiseptics on the bump.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
